A second suspect has been arrested for allegedly kidnapping and torturing an Italian tourist in an upmarket Manhattan home for weeks in an effort to steal his cryptocurrency.
William Duplessie, 32, turned himself in to authorities on Tuesday after his alleged accomplice was arrested last week.
Their alleged victim told police he was hung off a roof ledge, shocked with electrical wires and attacked with a chainsaw as his attackers demanded he reveal his Bitcoin wallet password.
Both suspects are charged with kidnapping with intent to collect ransom, assault, unlawful imprisonment and other crimes.
